That has a lot to do with the internet, of course. In the old days most fans didn't know these minor transactions even occurred.
-
So your position is that pitching eliminates the crapshoot factor.
-
I'm just trying to find something more interesting to complain about...
-
He was actually pretty consistent from 2017-2019. Anyway, you're a clear winner on this one. No need to rub it in.
-
I know. Is it going to be another of those offseasons where people start muttering about collusion?
-
The good news is, Chaim hasn't spent much of that pot of available money yet. As Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part.
-
The Phils certainly made it look that way. Some might argue that the Astros are showing that they are built for the postseason, having made it to 4 of the last 6 WS, and 6 straight LCS.
-
I hoped he might hit like he did in 2020, I admit it. I generally err on the side of optimism LOL
-
We all know the bullpen needs to be seriously improved. We all know the new signing doesn't move the needle much.
-
Forget about Brasier being shown the door, he has 9 lives with this team.
-
notin liked it, and I was OK with it. I hoped Bloom was right about JBJ bouncing back.
-
Just for housekeeping, we still have Brasier.
-
Rendon was a much better defender so that comp doesn't really work either.
-
Austin Riley's deal is a reasonable comp, if you adjust for the difference of two arb years between them.
-
Yes, they have to sign him, no question about it.
-
Offense was way down in 2022, so it's a fair point that Devers's 2022 numbers were a lot better than they look at face value.
-
If he's a DH, his comps are Ortiz and JDM.
-
A more skeptical view would be that 1fWAR costs about 8M on the free agent market, because there are so many busts baked into the average.
-
He's not Ortiz or Manny.
-
But his projected 2023 WAR is 4.8. Which probably has something to do with the fact that 2019 is still his best season. I love the guy and want him signed, but I think we have to be realistic about how good he's going to be. Plus he had some hamstring issues this year that impacted him for quite a while. Baseball is hard on the body.
-
Of course not.
-
Only one of the transactions was a head-scratcher, though.
-
Urquidy seems to look like a stud every time I see him pitch. But his overall numbers are only OK. He has an excellent WHIP of 1.09 but a shaky FIP of 4.35, which appears to be directly related to a penchant for giving up homers. His career ERA is 3.74, for the old schoolers.
-
Maybe BTV figures Houston has lost their marbles because they parted with Click...
-
moon said BTV accepted Verdugo for Urquidy AND Neris. Seems implausible, but what do any of us know.
